Section 24 Strategy

Situ Biao, who came out of the palace, was in a mess. How could things turn out like this? It was obvious that the morning court was peaceful yesterday, but why did the father turn against each other when he came down? Could it be that He Zhiqiu and the ministers in the court had such great power?

Situ Biao didn't believe it. He knew his father's character very clearly. If he had no idea in his heart, he would not change his mind if his nobles and ministers said it. This only shows one problem. Li Wufeng's power has developed too fast and has made him feel guilty, which will make his father worry. What should he do? Will the father think that he also plays a role in it, or even has some ideas? Thinking of this, Situ Biao couldn't help but shiver.

He hurriedly entered the luxurious carriage with the royal emblem that had already stopped at the door. Situ Biao tightened the fur on his body, and the red charcoal basin on the carriage emitted a burst of heat, but it could not dispel the chill in his heart at all.

"Your Highness, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that his master jumped into the car, his face was quite ugly. The middle-aged man who had been waiting in the morning carriage asked softly, his eyes were small but bright, his eyebrows were as dark as a sword, and his lips were slightly trembling.

"Oh, Mr. Hu, the situation is a little bad." Situ Biao woke up from his sleepwalking. Then he turned his hopeful eyes to the middle-aged man beside him, who was not astonishingly beautiful. "The father seemed to be influenced by some ministers in the court, and his views on Li Wufeng have changed greatly, and he meant to put Li Wufeng under house arrest."

"Oh?" The middle-aged man was also shocked. This was horrifying news. If he hadn't said it from his master and had his master come out of the palace, he would not have believed the news.

"Your Highness, is this news reliable?" the middle-aged man asked in a pondering manner. He knew that this sentence would definitely make his master unhappy, but it was of great importance, so he had to ask clearly.

"There should be no mistake. This is what my mother told me." Situ Biao was a little impatient.

"It's the news of the imperial concubine? There should be no problem." The middle-aged man nodded and said, "What are you going to do with your nobleman?"

"What should I do? I'm in a dilemma now. Li Wufeng is ambitious and blindly optimistic. He ends up with this consequence purely by himself. But now everyone knows that we are walking very tightly. If we don't get a distance early, I'm worried that I will implicate me. But my strength is still too weak now. Without this guy's help, I'm afraid I have no hope at all. It's really a dilemma!" Situ Biao was very upset.

"Your Highness, my opinion may be a little different from yours." The middle-aged man said after a brief thought.

"Oh?" Situ Biao was delighted and hurriedly said, "Then come and listen."

"In my opinion, His Majesty the Emperor has not yet made up his mind to deal with Li Wufeng, otherwise he would not have praised Li Wufeng in the court yesterday. And there is no other special behavior at present. I think His Majesty the Emperor may have some ideas. He has to observe for a while, or it may also take some other compromise measures to deal with Li Wufeng. After all, it is too obvious to directly deprive Li Wufeng of his position and power, and it will also trigger strong reactions from the people. Li Wufeng has a considerable prestige among the people. If he handles it poorly, it may even cause turmoil in the northwest situation. Your Majesty is extremely wise and will not be unable to consider this." The middle-aged man analyzed calmly.

"Well, it makes sense, continue." Situ Biao saw that the middle-aged man was still a little unsatisfied, so he signaled him to continue talking.

"Secondly, even if Your Majesty dealt with Li Wufeng, I don't think it would be implicated in Your Highness." The middle-aged man said in a affirmative tone.

"How can I see it?" Situ Biao was amazed by his view. You should know that implicating this practice was a common method in the imperial court.

"If Li Wufeng is dealt with by Your Majesty, it is because his power is expanding too quickly. Your Majesty and the ministers in the court are worried that the empire will be difficult to control, so he becomes the second Lin Guoxiong or Lang Yongquan. As for Your Highness, your surname is Situ, and he is the personal son of His Majesty the Emperor. To say something that should not be said, for Your Majesty, it has nothing to do with the overall situation even if you or any of His Majesty the other Highness inherits the throne. After all, they are all surnamed Situ and are all his sons. Of course, he hopes that the person in his mind will inherit his throne. Now that His Majesty is old, you and several other high men who are expected to throne are ready to fight, hoping to win in the future battle for the throne, and it is inevitable that they will develop their own strength. Your Majesty understands it like a mirror in his heart, how can you not know?" The middle-aged man had a faint smile on his lips.

"But His Majesty the Emperor has not decided who will inherit the throne yet, which will allow all princes, including Your Highness, to secretly accumulate strength for the time being. Your Highness, in your opinion, if Your Highness is passed on to you, would you say that the other highnesses will bow down and surrender?" the middle-aged man asked suddenly.

Situ Biao was stunned and shook his head and said, "It's very difficult. Big brother, third brother, seventh brother and even the ninth brother are now stronger than me. Unless the father is still able to pass the position in me while he can still control the overall situation, it may be possible to avoid a fight. If Your Majesty passes the throne on his dying day, the intentions of the Imperial Guards and the City Guards will be very difficult to say. Hehe, I don't think anyone will be willing to surrender. Especially Big brother, Third Brother and Seventh Brother, who control a considerable army of force in their hands, they will never give up."

"Your Highness, please forgive me for asking, if you can live your life safely, would you like?" A complicated look flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes.

Situ Biao was stunned again, and then replied decisively: "A real man has only been for decades. If everything is shrunk, wouldn't he live for a lifetime in vain? If he hasn't tried many things, how can he know whether it can succeed?"

"I understand." The middle-aged man sighed in his heart, "Then I suggest that Your Highness reveal this news to Li Wufeng immediately. Li Wufeng can climb to this position today is not a mediocre person. He has his own way to resolve it. The battle for the throne must ultimately be decided through strength struggles. Since Your Highness has made up his mind, don't worry too much. Our foundation in the army is too poor, far less than that of His Highness, three or seven, and the power of supporting us in the court is far inferior to His Highness Nine, so we must find a firm ally. Li Wufeng is our best choice. We must be consistent with him. You must know that anyone can do the icing on the cake, and it is valuable to help us in time."

Situ Biao listened to the advice of his chief assistant with a serious expression and did not speak for a long time. The middle-aged man smiled bitterly and said, "In addition, I have to tell Your Highness two bad news. The suspicion I raised to Your Highness before was verified and should be true."

Seeing that Situ Biao did not react for a moment, he had to explain: "The Third Highness did send someone to secretly contact the Sanjiang Lin family, and the specific situation was unclear. The Grand Highness also personally had secretly met with important figures in the Kingdom of Dodon and the Principality of the Trilogy."

"What?!" Situ Biao was shocked. Obviously, the news stimulated him a lot, "Is it true?"

"Well, it's confirmed, there should be no problem. Although the details are not very clear, there is no problem with the authenticity of the information." The middle-aged man said seriously.

"They are so quick and brave enough." Situ Biao murmured to himself, "Well, then do as you want. I'll pass this news to Li Wufeng. We can only do this. If he can't even take this step, then I have nothing to say. By the way, how are I preparing for the matter of contacting the Lang family?"

"The person sent has returned and has been tied with Yang Mubai, the first think tank of Lang Yongquan. This guy is the second most important person in Tiannan and has a great influence on Lang Yongquan. However, this person's attitude is still relatively awesome and needs further communication." The middle-aged man nodded.

"Oh, no wonder we have a bad foundation, but we still have the opportunity, and the time pays off. I think our efforts will always be rewarded." Although his expression was a little regretful, Situ Biao's eyes were full of confidence.

The meal was praised by several people. Charlotte's dishes that combined Beijing-style and Jiangnan-style flavor made Wufeng and Angel'er's daughters applaud. The fresh fragrance and light flavor were matched with appropriate thickness and light, and the food was so good that the people present had a great appetite. With Wufeng's insistence, Charlotte reluctantly joined the Wufeng table. The praise from everyone made Charlotte, who was always quiet and elegant, also a little excited. After all, it was really an encouraging beginning to be praised by these different tastes.

Wufeng even made up his mind that when the matter of the imperial capital was completed and returned to the northwest, no matter what he wanted, he must bring Charlotte. Such a beautiful and cooking beauty was not a treasure given to him by God. If he didn't enjoy it well, wouldn't it be a waste of talent?!

The Jiedushi Mansion of Qingyang Prefecture, Northwest County. Two rows of magnificent soldiers remained motionless in the still cold wind, holding spears and crossing their hands, or pressing their swords to guide their shields, majestic and majestic. A large gilded plaque two feet long and three feet wide was hung on the plaque. The nine large-character masters in the military and political military Prefecture of Northwest County knew that they were from famous masters and were extraordinary at a glance.

"Hey, why are you so lonely?" The man in Jinyi who came to the door was a little confused when he saw the appearance in front of the door.

"Sir, is there anything wrong?" A sergeant standing in front of the door noticed the man and walked out and asked, with a pretty kind attitude.

"Oh, I wonder if Lord Li is in the mansion?" asked the man in Jinyi calmly.

"I don't know that this gentleman has a great name. If he has a post, he should report it to him." The soldier was very alert and said without any loss of water.

The man in Jinyi was also a little hesitant. His mission was very secretive and he must not reveal any news. But judging from the current situation, if he did not tell his identity, the other party would definitely not report it. While he was hesitating, a carriage stopped beside him.

"Cui Lie, what's the matter?" A man in blue clothes opened the glass window and asked the sergeant.

"Oh, Lord Xiao, this gentleman is looking for Lord Li, but he is unwilling to tell his identity." The soldier quickly saluted when he saw the man in blue.

"Oh, look for Lord Li?" The man in green clothes was naturally Xiao Tang. He happened to pass by the mansion and saw the soldier negotiating with the man in brocade, so he asked by the way.

"You don't even want to talk about your identity, why do you see Lord Li?" Xiao Tang felt something must be strange in the middle, so he got out of the car and asked, and the more than ten knights following behind also unsaded and dismounted.

"This is Mr. Xiao, our Northwest County Administrative Office. Have you not seen him yet?" The soldier saw that the man in Jinyi was still motionless, and hurriedly shouted.
